FIELD

This disclosure relates to pole bases, specifically to light pole basecabinets that can house items.

BACKGROUND

Currently, light poles are installed on footings that protrude wellabove grade. For example, a hole is dug into the ground to a specifieddepth. A rebar cage is then placed in the hole and electrical conduitsrouted therethrough. A tube or similar structure is placed around therebar cage and concrete is poured in. The concrete sets to establish aconcrete footing above grade. A pole supporting a light source ismounted to the top of the concrete footing and electrical wiring isrouted through the electrical conduits to provide electrical power tothe light source. The concrete footing has the limited purpose ofproviding structural support. As society continues to progress, moreadaptability and utility is desirable beyond providing structuralsupport. Accordingly, pole base solutions that address at least some ofthese challenges are desirable.

SUMMARY

Neither the preceding summary nor the following detailed descriptionpurports to limit or define the scope of protection. The scope ofprotection is defined by the claims.

As society's needs change, it can be desirable to adapt a lighting poleand/or footing upon which the footing is mounted to include additionalfeatures or be adapted for multiple purposes. Currently, the concretefootings upon which light poles are mounted do not offer the capabilityto accommodate additional features and/or storage for supporting thoseadditional features. The concrete footings cannot readily be adaptedbecause the footing and light pole are structurally designed to meetspecific demands or requirements, such as environmental, safety,load-bearing, code, and/or other requirements. In some cases,accessories, such as a camera for surveillance, are included during theinstallation of a lighting pole and footing. Wiring for said accessoriesis sometimes routed through any existing electrical conduits orexternally, but due to a lack of space, connections, components, and/orsupportive technology are externally mounted onto the footing and/orlight pole. This configuration, however, can be unaesthetic, aninefficient use of space, fail to provide desirable protection, and/orhave other deficiencies.

Second Pole Base Cabinet Configuration—FIGS. 11-17

With reference to FIGS. 11-17, a pole base cabinet, casing, housing,enclosure, locker 300 is described. Pole base cabinet 300 can includesubstantially the same or similar features described or shown herein inreference to other configurations of pole base cabinets. Similarlynumbered features can be the same or similar.

As shown in FIG. 11, a pole 301 can be mounted onto the pole basecabinet 300 to support a light source 303 at an elevated height. Thepole base cabinet 300 can have a cavity in which items can be stored. Adoor 302 can be opened and/or closed, such as releasably coupled, toobstruct or provide access to the cavity. The pole base cabinet 300 canbe secured to a footing, base 360. Specifically, the pole base cabinet300 can be coupled to anchors 362 extending into the footing 360. In aconfiguration, the anchors 362 can be coupled to or retained by rebar364 in the footing 360. The footing 360 can be positioned at, proximate,above, and/or below grade 366.

As shown in FIG. 12, the pole base cabinet 300 can have a top or firstplate, disc, sheet 304. The top plate 304 can have a periphery 330 thatis circular, as shown in FIG. 13, or polygonal, irregular, and/orothers. The top plate 304 can have a plurality of apertures 312, whichcan include two, three, four, five, six, or more apertures 312. Theapertures 312 can have a circular, polygonal, irregular, and/or othershape. The aperture 312 can be elongate with rounded ends. The apertures312 can all be the same or having varying shapes and/or sizes. Theapertures 312 can be arranged in different configurations. For example,the apertures 312 can cooperate to form a square with each aperture 312forming a corner thereof. The apertures 312 can cooperate to form acircular, polygonal, irregular, and/or other shape depending on whatconfiguration is required or desired to couple to a corresponding polebase and/or is needed for structural integrity. The apertures 312 can beused to secure the top plate 204 to a pole base, such as a pole baseplate, which can include utilizing bolts. The apertures 312 can beoversized relative to a bolt that will extend therethrough. Havingover-sized apertures 312 relative to the bolt can be advantageous forconvenient alignment. Apertures 312 can be oversized relative tocorresponding apertures of a pole base or pole base plate, which can beadvantages for convenient alignment.

The top plate 304 can have an opening 310. The opening 310 can used toallow wiring, cords, optical fibers, and/or other devices through thetop plate 304 and into and/or out of a cavity of the pole base cabinet300. The opening 310 can be centrally located. In a configuration, theopening 310 can be located at any position on the top plate 304. Theopening 310 can have a circular, polygonal, irregular, and/or othershape. In a configuration, a periphery defining the opening 310 can berounded to reduce abrasion on devices extending therethrough. In aconfiguration, a periphery defining the opening 310 can be coated orcovered with a non-abrasive material to reduce abrasion on devicesextending therethrough. In a configuration, the apertures 312 can bedistributed around the opening 310, which can include circumferentiallyor radially distributed. In a configuration, the opening 310 can belocated centered relative to the plurality of apertures 312. The opening310 can be larger than each of the apertures 312.
